"Mean Girls" Movie Musical Final Trailer Released

Paramount Pictures has dropped the new and final trailer for “Mean Girls”, adapted from the 2018 Tony-nominated musical based on the 2004 feature.

Reneé Rapp plays the infamous Regina George, reprising her role on Broadway. Joining the cast are Auli’i Cravalho (“Moana”), Angourie Rice (“Mare of Easttown”), Christopher Briney (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”), and Jaquel Spivey (“A Strange Loop”).

Rice portrays Cady Heron, the new girl at school who is taken in by Janis and Damian, played by Cravalho and Spivey, respectively. 

Janis and Damian instruct Cady to infiltrate the school’s queen bees, known as the Plastics. Cady starts to fall for Regina’s boyfriend Aaron Samuels, played by Briney, and soon finds herself more and more entrenched in the lives of the most popular girls in school.

Tina Fey and Tim Meadows, who starred in the 2004 comedy, will return for this adaptation, joined by Jenna Fischer, Busy Philipps, Avantika, Mahi Alam, Bebe Wood, Ashley Park, Connor Ratliff, and Jon Hamm.

Fey, who wrote both the 2004 movie and the stage musical, returns as screenwriter and producer for this rendition. Lorna Mitchells is also producing with Fey. Arturo Perez and Samantha Jayne direct. The music is by Jeff Richmond with lyrics from Nell Benjamin.

“Mean Girls” will premiere in theaters on January 12, 2024. The movie was originally slated for a streaming debut on Paramount+ before moving to a theatrical release.
